As a benchmark event in advanced manufacturing, BIEMH 2026 will feature a specific area devoted to automation, robotics and digitalisation, key sectors for driving industrial efficiency, flexibility and competitiveness. Following their prominent role in the last edition, they will once again occupy a prominent place in this year’s show, within a specific area that will bring together the latest applied solutions. The exhibition will be rounded off with tools, components, accessories, metrology and services for production, providing a comprehensive showcase for the industrial ecosystem.
International outreach will once again be one of BIEMH’s hallmarks. The event is currently being promoted in nearly 150 countries, with a special focus on strategic markets such as the United States, China, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, India, Germany, Italy, Portugal, France, the Maghreb, Turkey and Vietnam. In this context, the VIP programme inviting professional buyers will be key to attracting high-profile visitors and generating valuable business opportunities.
In addition, BIEMH 2026 will feature areas specially designed to encourage networking among all participants. With all this, the fair will once again become a fair in action, where technology is experienced in real time, innovation can be touched and every encounter translates into real business opportunities.
BIEMH 2026 is organised by AFM, Machine Tool Manufacturers; AIMHE, Machine Tools Importers and Bilbao Exhibition Centre, with SPRI – Basque Government as Institutional Partner.
